Your Donations
Since 2007, donors have funded research for Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis (NCL), PRA, Autoimmunie Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA), Canine Atopic Dermatitis, Lymphoma, NCL stem cell research and Renal Dysplasia. In addition to the AKC/CHF grants, we are also funding a study by Dr. Richard Vulliet and his research with Stem Cell Therapy for dogs affected by NCL. See information on this research here: LINK

Advances in Breed Health
Great strides are being made in research for many of the diseases that directly affect the Tibetan Terrier. The TTHWF funded the research at the University of Missouri which developed the test to identify NCL carriers, affected and clear dogs; and the research at Cambridge University which developed the test to identify PLL carriers, affected and clear dogs. These tests allow breeders to make informed decisions before they breed which makes for a happier and healthier Tibetan Terrier!
For information about current research, see the TTCA Health Page.

Rescue Fund
The Foundation also provides a rescue fund for the welfare of the Tibetan Terrier breed to support the rescue activities of the TTCA. Go to TTCA RESCUE

The Tibetan Terrier Health and Welfare Foundation (TTHWF) is a non-profit 501 (c) (3) organization established in 2007 under the auspices of the Tibetan Terrier Club of America (TTCA). Through the support of generous donors, TTHWF funds medical and genetic investigations conducted by universities, veterinary schools and other institutions involved in canine research. The focus of these investigations is diseases that affect Tibetan Terriers, but the Foundation's work benefits many other breeds.
